Hes talking about the car. There have been comments made by some who found the MKs geometry and build to be a little out.
Probably best to ignore most though.

You ignore the accuracy of the build of the chassis at your own peril. Very few can be termed 'straight and true', and even fewer
symmetrical.
Knowing what you have to start with can save a multitude of worries later on.
Cheers,
Nev.

Used engine crane and did it in several staged moves.
A good working height is very desirable, as you spend a lot of time working on the car, and last thing you want is an aching back / legs / arms / neck
etc etc. It all helps to keep the morale up!
You will have highs and lows during the build.
Just keep at it. Little and often was the key for me.
Finally DONT FORGET... PLENTY of PICTURES for us all to see and comment on.
You will get loads of help form the forum, so let us see what you are doing, we might be able to save you some time and grief.
1. The point of a journey is not to arrive.
2. Never take life seriously. Nobody gets out alive anyway.
